‘Bills fans understandably are still crushed their team isn’t in this game. This might not make them feel much better, but it would have been a tough matchup for Buffalo, just as it should be for Kansas City. Saquon Barkley just won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award, and Philadelphia has a young, fast defense that can give any team problems. One key for the Eagles is to keep Patrick Mahomes contained in the pocket. The Chiefs’ quarterback is so good at extending plays on third down. Defensively, I’d expect Kansas City to pressure Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has struggled at times with sack avoidance. Philadelphia ran off 10 straight wins in the regular season and dominated the NFC championship game. Beyond just being sick of watching Kansas City, Bills fans can root for the local connection with Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni being from Jamestown. Eagles 30-24.’
